But no i really just want to make gloves, because commercial ones are either actually unusably bad or they charge out the ass for mass-produced ones from china and imply it's actually handmade domestically.
Plus by making my own i can make sure they contain as much wool as possible, because i enjoy having warm hands even in the rain, as weird as that apparently is.

    the big thing with domestication is that they kinda need to have some genetic changes, otherwise they're just tame or chill.
    And yeah cats kinda sorta aren't domesticated, they're not very different from their ancestors and i'd wager there are african wildcats who just decide to become housecats every now and then.

    I'd class ""domestic"" spiders alongside raccoons, rats, and foxes: animals who just inherently function really well in human habitats.

    why would a modern vehicle be powered by an internal combustion engine? Surely they'd run on electricity instead, which is cheaper and more reliable and more powerful?

    if your gf can't go vrum vrum what's the point? are you a girl? REAL men want their spouses to belch smoke at passing cyclists.
